OUR DOG GROOMING COURSES

We run a number of different dog grooming courses throughout the year, unlike some dog grooming schools where the student is restricted to one course and it's specific content. We want to allow our students to leave with the most appropriate training for their future needs. Many of our students wish to go back and open their own grooming business (salon or mobile), whilst others wish to commence or improve their skills for their job. Other of our students wish to be able to groom (or improve their styling skills) for their own dogs. It would be as wasteful to teach salon management to the pet owner, as it would be wasteful to teach a single breed-specific program to a Canine Beautician. 

As a professional, training specific, dog grooming school we are able to be quite flexible in accommodating each student's needs. Please feel free to openly discuss your requirements from your course with us, as we can often customise some elements of the course content to ensure you receive the richest learning experience possible.

THE FIRTREE GROOMING ACADEMY DIPLOMA

Each of our courses includes a Diploma, awarded on satisfactory completion of the course.  The courses are module based and allow an ongoing assessment of practical abilities, trimming styles, breed recognition, equipment usage and communications.  All students are given feedback on their achievements throughout the course and the opportunity to revise their levels if needed.  Under this system, students are not required to take a final exam, nor to undergo a practical test at the end of the course.

After a student has gained a minimum of 18 months experience in grooming, they become eligible to enrol for the City & Guilds Dog Grooming Certificate.  We will be pleased to give more information should you require it.

ABOUT FIRTREE GROOMING ACADEMY TUTORS

All of our main teaching staff are City and Guilds qualified teachers (C&G Cert. 7302).  All students are supervised and receive training from our main teachers throughout the course.  Combined, they have in excess of 45 years experience in grooming and Canine beauty.  They have a close involvement with the canine world through grooming, exhibiting (at championship level), kennel management, animal husbandry and breeding quality Kennel Club registered dogs.

On selected parts of some courses, we introduce students to breed-specialist groomers.  These are people who bring a particularly specialist input to our students from a knowledgeable person who has in-depth knowledge of a particular breed (Cocker Spaniels, for example).  Generally, these additional tutors are people who breed and exhibit in one breed, and therefore have an in-depth knowledge of that particular breed’s requirements and pit-falls.  These are the owners and exhibitors who you see grooming and handling – and many times winning! – at Crufts and the other major championship shows each year. Their knowledge and instruction in their own breed is unsurpassed.
